<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andy21us, post: 556563, member: 2452&quot;]Hi Joby and weclome to the Forum! You have a very nice start on that cent collection and I hope you will complete it. As far as the value, it has a lot to do with the condition of the coins. You said that you have 8 proofs and many are mint but there is a wide gap in value between a MS 60 and a MS 70 so we have to determine where each cent falls in that scale. To do this with that many coins will take a lot of time becuase we will have to have clear close up pictures of each coin so that we can give you an accurate grade of that coin. The best way to help you determine the value of your collection is to help you learn how to grade you coins yourself. There are some very good books and website out there that will give you the information needed to grade your coins and the people on this site will be more then to happy also. As Just Carl has mention the redbooks and <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> are some very good guides. A few more are: The Complete Lincoln Cent Encyclopedia by Shane M. Anderson for about $2.95 at Amazon,&nbsp; A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents by Q. David Bowers about $15.95 also at Amazon. You can also try <a href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com" rel="nofollow">www.lincolncentresource.com</a>. Using these sites and books will help you a lot and before you know it you will be on here helping us out on our cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
